Water Meters InstallatIon InforMed CItIzens should deCIde!

The Facts: • City Council has voted to install residential water meters • 1.3 million dollars has been budgeted for the installation • Council is already in the process of tendering out the installation. • The majority of Council members will not have meters at their residence as they live outside city limits. • There have been no town hall meetings to discuss the pros and cons of meter installation. • The Gallery 2 “open house” was held after the fact and almost on the “ eve” of Council receiving quotes for the installation work. • This tight time line has provided insufficient time for citizens to fully grasp Council’s rationale, nor time or opportunity for citizen reaction and input. • 2014 is a municipal election year.

triveri

Therefore we, an ad hoc committee for a more democratic process, urge City Council to: 1. Rescind the motion to install residential water meters 2. Follow the time line that was mailed out with utility bills that meter installation will not commence until 2015 3. Hold town hall meetings throughout 2014 focusing on open discussions as to the pros and cons of water meters 4. Debate the issue widely during the 2014 election campaign. 5. Hold a referendum during the election allowing the citizens of Grand Forks to decide the issue. Other BC municipalities have taken the same issue to referendum. If you agree with our view, call or email your Council (250 442-8266 | info@grandforks.ca), sign the petition that is circulating the community and if possible, attend the Feb. 11, 3:00 PM Council Meeting (Old Canpar office building located at: 6641 Industrial Park Way, Grand Forks, BC) to show your support.

1908 It was reported from Kamsack, Sask., that 100 families of Doukhobors would leave from Saskatchewan for B.C. in early spring to settle there permanently. 1919 The conference of delegates from the Farmer’s Institute passed a series of important resolutions: a protest be sent against the proposed increase of express rates; representation to the government be made for a more equitable method of tax assessment; governments be advised to encourage the settlement of returned soldiers; a request be made that the closed season on bear be eliminated; and the government be asked to continue gopher killing contests by children. 1924 An offer from the Doukhobors was made to purchase from the city some 150 to 200 acres on the Columbia ﬂats at $50 an acre. 1929 Peter Verigin, leader of the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood, wanted to have the Doukhobor area taken out of the Grand Forks school district and his community freed from payment of the taxes paid to the Grand Forks district. 1934 The athletic association ofﬁcially opened the rebuilt skating rink. The ice area was increased by 3,000 square feet. 1939 The Grand Forks Comets went to Greenwood to play the third game in a six-game series for the Boundary Cup, which Grand Forks had held for the past several years. 1944 The late Lynn McParlon, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. McParlon of west Grand Forks, received a citation along with high award of bravery. Lynn and two other members of the Seaforth Highlanders

received the military medal for their outstanding courage in action. 1949 The Sunshine Valley Co-operative Society, owned by a group of Doukhobors, won their case in Supreme Court and the city of Grand Forks was ordered to grant the society a trade license. 1969 William Percival-Wray was presented a certificate from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind in appreciation for his outstanding public service in the Prevention of Blindness Program in this community. 1984 The Hamagami rink: Diane Hanlon, Kim Hamagami, Lori Stoochnoff and Lani Farnworth, beat out nine other rinks in the West Kootenay High School Curling playdowns. 1989 Long delays in starting a $2 million Boundary Hospital upgrading project have forced the hospital board to turn to the community for financial support for a much-needed food delivery system. 1999 The district forest office is banking on a new type of forest tenure to create at least 30 mill jobs in the area. The tenure, part of the Ministry’s Small Business Forest Enterprise Program, was announced last week. The tenure lasts for 10 years and the mill must be located within the Boundary.

RDKB asks for time on ambulance changes

Also at the meeting, Doreen Olson (second from left) gave a presentation from the South Okanagan Similkameen National Park network at the RDKB board meeting on Thursday in Grand Forks. The group wants to see the provincial and national governments open up dialogue once again about having a national park built near Osoyoos. The board voted to refer the issue to staff.

CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

The regional district is asking the province to refrain from implementing any changes to the B.C. Ambulance Service response guidelines on first responder protocols until consultation has been made with local governments to ensure the needs of the local communities have been met. At the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) board of directors meeting on Thursday, Jan. 30 in Grand Forks, the board voted for a recommendation to approve two resolutions to be presented to the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) regarding fire departments acting as first responders during emergencies. “What happened was, a group of doctors got together and decided they would make the decisions one protocol,” said Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair and Area C (Christina Lake) direc-

tor. McGregor said that protocol is different in the cities, where an ambulance is usually five or 10 minutes away, than in the rural areas where you’ve got an ambulance 25 minutes away. The board wanted each community to make their own standards, she said, to be in consultation and create standards for when first responders get called.

POLICE BRIEFS Oliver driver taken to hospital On Jan. 29 at 5:18 p.m., RCMP received a call about a single motor vehicle accident five kilometres west of Grand Forks on Highway 3. “An SUV was on its side in the ditch,” said Staff Sgt. Harrison. “Police attended and found that the driver had gotten a ride from a private citizen to the hospital. Ambulance was on scene.” The vehicle was a 1997 Toyota 4Runner. The driver, a 42-year-old female from Oliver, did not have serious injuries. “The accident was attributed to icy road conditions,” said Harrison. Semi hits black ice At 5:36 p.m. on Jan. 29, police received a report of a semi tractor trailer in the ditch on Highway 3 near East Lake Drive in Christina Lake. “The driver had been travelling west-bound in a Chambers truck, a white 2014 Western Star, towing the tandem chip trailers lost control on black ice resulting in a 360 degree spin,” said Harrison. The trailer ended up down a nine-metre embankment. There were no injuries to the driver, a 39 year-old male from Kelowna. The accident was attributed to the road conditions. Drug bust On Saturday evening at about 9:35 p.m., police apprehended a vehicle they had been advised to be on the look out for regarding an incident which occurred in Castlegar. “Four people were arrested and have been held in custody under charges of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking,” said Harrison. “Twentythree pounds of marijuana have been seized from those individuals.” The investigation is now being conducted by the Kootenay Boundary regional detachment general investigations section. “The four individuals are not from this area,” said Harrison. “They are being remanded into custody and will appear in Castlegar court on multiple charges.”

Large-scale grow operation busted On Monday, Jan. 9 Midway RCMP pulled a vehicle over for a broken headlight. The male provided police with a false name and it was later determined that the male was wanted by police and prohibited from driving. Cpl. Kevin Christensen of the Midway RCMP reported that the following day, in attempting to locate and arrest the male from the previous night, police attended to a residence near Beaverdell and discovered a large-scale marijuana grow operation. Over 1,600 marijuana plants were seized. Police expect arrests and charges to be made in the near future.

“For instance, at Christina Lake we want our first responders called pretty much every call because our tax dollars actually train them,” she said. “That’s what we train them for; we’re a senior community. We’re 20-25 minutes away. So we want a first responder on the scene right away to help out prior to the ambulance getting there. That’s the bottom line.”

CAO talks business planned for 2014 CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

Some of the highlights and challenges of the past year, as well as some of the key projects the city is expected to undertake in 2014, were summarized at a recent city council meeting by Doug Allin, city administrative officer (CAO). “We talked today about the budget process,” he told council on Jan. 27. “We talked about what the organization has been working on, which is evolution. Passion leads to success. The local government is a continuing evolution of change. Although planning for the future, delivering services for our customers, we’re in a place of economic policy to ensure the health and well being of our community.” Some of the successes Allin touted were the new city logo and signs, the downtown revitalization, new format for department structure at City Hall, bylaw implementations, open houses for various issues such as the budget and the downtown revitalization, and the Boundary storm drain installation. Some of the challenges the city faced this year were: City Hall building fire and the resulting moves, business continuity, insurance claims and project planning. Allin also touted the city staff’s high morale and team building events such as the Christmas dinner and team golf tournament. “Our team building this year was an incredible success,” he said. “Our group came together. You can see by the high levels of morale in our organization and the level of service we’re providing our customers, the level of pride from our organization. Teamwork is a very important part of how an organization works.” Allin also talked about what’s to come for the City of Grand Forks in 2014, highlighting the water meter installation, the November city council election, the asset management project, downtown revitalization part two and the new fire truck. He also spoke of the multi-utility project that the city will be undertaking that will see work done on three different areas of Grand Forks and comes under the asset management plan. “We’re looking at a grant of about $3 million to get going with the first phase of that project,” he said. Allin’s accompanying slide show featured a plan of the multiutility project as well as the proposed new floor plan for the rebuilt City Hall. Allin summed up the presentation by stating that the organization of the city had gone from a very good operation to a great operation. Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor told the Gazette that Allin was doing a great job since taking over the CAO position about a year and a half ago. “His ability to step back and see the big picture is really important,” said Taylor. “We (at council) get lost in the trivia of daily challenges. To have that administrative overview of what we’ve accomplished in the year is really helpful for council.”

Fountain of information

he water meter debate continues to rage even in the face of city council all but proclaiming it is a done deal. People are showing up to council for the public question period—in the wake of the water meter open house last week—and are still petitioning council to reconsider the project to place a meter on every home in the city. Although those on council believe the majority of Grand Forks residents are in favour of water meter installation, the call by those who appeared in council for a referendum to settle that claim was dismissed. Understandably, there is a cost associated with a referendum, but there is no appetite by elected officials to open up a city-wide vote on what they consider to be an already environmentally sound idea. It is becoming apparent people won’t be able to sway council and dissuade them from instituting water meters. The call has gone out for contractors, and the plans are in place to put them in place. But what people can get out of the process now is to take their articulated fears and arm themselves with information through the city’s website (www. grandforks.ca/public-works/#toggleid-13) which outlines several of the questions repeatedly raised in public forums.

Pete Seeger a reminder of the noble struggle second opinion

JIM HOlTZ

ete Seeger died last week. Not very many people remember him these days; he was, after all, 94 years old and, for most of the people who do remember him, just a quaint and easily forgotten relic of American cultural history. Not for me. I was 14 and a ninth grader in an American boarding school in 1960 when I first learned of Pete Seeger and the Weavers, the folk singing group he founded. I was told that they had been blacklisted in the 1950s and still were in the 1960s for singing about issues deemed then to be communistic or un-American: equal rights for minorities, civil liberties, unions, pacifism. At 14, I didn’t know what “blacklisted” meant, so I had to look that up, and then learn what civil liberties were

and what pacifism was all about. As I learned those things and listened to Seeger’s songs like Turn, Turn, Turn, The Bells of Rhymney, and We Shall Overcome, I began to see that there were other ways of looking at the world than the way the majority of Americans did. Than the way those around me did. Pete Seeger opened my eyes. Over the next 20 years, I listened to other folk singers: Woody Guthrie, Odetta, Josh White, among others. Most of them are dead now, or like Joan Baez, they have grown tired of being looked upon as spokespersons for causes and social movements. There are no prominent folk singers today singing songs of peace and justice, unity and collective action to large crowds of enthusiastic supporters. Not on a regular basis. Musicians perform at specific fundraising events, of course, and for disaster relief, but it’s not the same. In Pete Seeger’s heyday there were concerts and dem-

onstrations and continuous calls to action based on broad, social issues, and his songs played an important role in those movements. Unlike some, he never raged at those he believed were the enemies of freedom and justice. He never advocated hatred, and certainly not violence. He just sang songs in the belief that music could unite the common man for the common good, and that once united, they could not be ignored, or oppressed, or victimised. I imagine that in the end he was not altogether happy with what he saw around him. The world is as conflicted as it ever was, and though there have been battles won on behalf of equal rights, the gap between the rich and poor grows wider, and the number of homeless people and poverty-stricken families seems as high as ever. Still, he never gave up or seemed to tire in the struggle against the greed and ignorance of the rich and powerful, or the indifference of the

smug and comfortable. He just smiled, picked up his banjo one more time and sang. At 92, Pete Seeger marched and performed during the Occupy Wall Street movement, in 2012 he recorded Forever Young with Arlo Guthrie and others in a commemorative recording of Bob Dylan’s songs, and in 2013, at 93, sang with Neil Young, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp in a rendition of This Land is Your Land as part of a Farm Aid benefit. So here’s to you, Pete. You did more than your share. I imagine down the road someone will write a song about you like they did for Joe Hill and Woody Guthrie. I hope it’s a good one with a great chorus that people everywhere will love to sing because, when the marchers gather at their doors, those bosses and bankers, deniers and despots should be reminded of just whom they’re up against.

Letters

to the editor

We live in a land of abundance, for some To the Editor: An open letter to the residents of our area: As I look outside my window this morning at the heavy snow weighing down branches and bushes, I can’t help but think how the physical trauma of hunger and the psychological burden of not being able to provide for one’s family must weigh on the shoulders of food bank clients. We live in a land of abundance, yet members of our community don’t have the resources to feed themselves adequately nor to provide warmth and shelter for themselves and their families. You can help. You can help with your financial donations, which enable us to purchase fresh products such as produce, meat and dairy. You can help with your donations of nonperishable items, such as canned soups, canned meat, pasta, powdered milk, toiletries, etc. You can help by volunteering your time to help us help the community. We use eight to 10 volunteers every Tuesday and also have other days of the week and month that require volunteers for preparation work. You can help by speaking out. Talk to your local, provincial and national politicians about the need for adequate welfare and disability incomes, about the need for low-income housing, about the need for universal daycare and increased pensions. Talk to your neighbours, friends and coworkers about the need for everyone to know what is happening right here in our community and in every community across the country.

Hunger is a hidden problem that needs to be brought out into the light of day and dealt with as fully as possible. The Boundary Community Food Bank is an all-volunteer registered charity located at the corner of Second and Central in Grand Forks. We are open the first four Tuesdays of each month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and can be reached by phone at (250) 442-2800. Donation bins are located at Overwaitea, Buy-Low and Extra Foods. We live in a land of abundance, but only for some. You can help. Deb Billwiller, Boundary Community Food Bank

Law of diminishing returns

To the Editor: Ferry rates are increasing at an alarming rate. The cost of mailing a letter keeps escalating. Transit fares are on a steady rise. Politicians seem to believe that if more money needs to be generated for anything the solution is to raise the price. What they fail to realize and understand is, with rising prices, participation drops. People mail fewer letters, there are fewer ferry passengers and people find alternatives to public transit. This is the law of diminishing returns. The alternative to this madness is to reduce the cost; attracting more users and raise the profit level. Will this idea fly with politicians? Probably not, it makes too much sense. David Janzen, Grand Forks

Thumbs Up to the sunshine Thumbs up to the city maintenance workers for keeping the sidewalks and trails safe, clear of snow and sanded in a very timely manner. Well done. Nice to have a safe place to walk, run and bike. Thumbs up to Del’s Bistro for the many years of serving up delicious subs, various soups and sweet treats. You will be missed. Enjoy your retirement. Thumbs up and a big thank you to our neighbour who took his tractor and plowed the snow away from the mail boxes. Thumbs down to the railway crossing on Carson Road. It needs maintenance Thumbs up to Peter Matheson for his letter “On being homeless in Grand Forks,” published Jan. 29. Well said. Thumbs down to the person who wrote in because they’ve experienced aggravating noise levels from Interfor. Believe me, I feel for you; however, do you understand that the alternative would be far more deafening to this town? Interfor employs a good number of workers here. Just to be clear, none of my family works there. If Interfor wasn’t here a lot of businesses

would roll up and Grand Forks would become a ghost town. I think that would be far more aggravating than a little bit of noise. A big thumbs up to the Grand Forks jazzercise instructors who are always encouraging, friendly, welcoming and each of them truly wants to help everyone who walks through their door. Thumbs up to the much needed sunshine. Thumbs down. Picture this, I ordered four chicken strips and instead I was given (by standards) two normal sized strips along with a third piece that was clearly sliced right down the center and passed off for my other two strips. I do believe I was clucked. Thumbs up to Barb at Dr. LeRoy’s office. Thanks for helping me to pick out some great frames so that I could transition into my new lenses. Would you like to give a thumb up or a thumb down? Email editor@grandforksgazette.ca with Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down as a subject line. We could publish your anonymous submission.

Post service cuts opposed PAT KELLY

Boundary Creek Times

Canada Post is proposing to cut Saturday service at the Greenwood Post Office. News of the plan started hitting the streets in Greenwood over one week ago, shortly after the retirement of long-time postmaster Leona Baird was announced. Speculation was Canada Post would use the opportunity of the personnel shuffle to implement local cutbacks. Eugene Knapik, manager of media relations for Canada Post, confirmed the Crown corporation was considering closing the Greenwood Post Office on Saturdays. “We will be consulting with our employee association on this proposal soon and we will communicate further with the community once we have had that consultation,” he said. Knapik said letter mail volumes were declining and the post office needed to make choices to maintain local service without becoming a burden on taxpayers.

“Our goal is to serve the people in your community when they use the post office most,” he stated. “Our review has determined a very small number of Saturday customers.” On Wednesday, Jan. 22 the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) mailed a flyer to all Greenwood mailbox holders urging them to write to Canada Post to reconsider the decision. “In some communities, Saturday is the only day available for some to do their postal business,” said the union’s flyer. “We need to know if this is true for Greenwood.” The post office counter is currently open from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Access to the mailboxes is available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven day a week. In a letter to Deepak Chopra, president of Canada Post Corp., Atamanenko said the move would negatively impact Greenwood. “This presents a hardship for a number of citizens in this small rural community,” he wrote. “Owners and operators of home-based businesses

need to receive and send parcels six days a week.” Those living in Greenwood often work in other communities and do not return home until after normal business hours, said Atamanenko. As a result, they rely on Saturday postal service. “It is important for you to understand that Canada Post provides well-paying jobs in our small rural communities,” he said. “Any job loss as a result of reduced postal hours is felt throughout the community. “It is simply not fair that the restructuring of Canada Post be accomplished on the backs of our rural communities, many of which are already struggling due to these difficult economic times.” Atamanenko urged Canada Post in Greenwood to ensure the customers they served were thoroughly consulted prior to any proposed changes in business hours. Knapik said that Canada Post has no plans for consultation with the community through either a public meeting or contact with local government.

A-frame debate

St. John’s United Church 9th Street & Central Avenue

Talk of using the cityowned A-frame building that sits beside the Greenwood Museum for public washrooms has dropped off the radar since council received a letter from Wayne Sargent, chairman of the Boundary Citizens’ on Patrol (COP). Sargent stated in his letter that COP has been active in the Boundary communities since 1997, and has been using the A-frame building for the past three years. “The COP is still using the building and, if required to move, would require another space which has heat, lights and is available 24/7,” he wrote. “Councilors seem to be of the opinion that the COP is dead in Greenwood,” Sargent said in his letter. “We do have one active member in Greenwood and currently are trying to recruit two others.” The group invited the city to name a councilor who would be part of the COP meetings in the future and councilor Colleen Lang was named to the position. — Boundary Creek Times

Water meter

Continued from Page 1

“I wanted to make sure that the information that was shared with me, and my own concerns were shared with council,” said Semenoff, who has a few fruit trees on her property but would like to have more of a garden. “Since this affects every resident, I see value in the residents having an opportunity to be informed and have a say in this. I believe if water meters are the best thing the residents will figure it out.” She also brought up the point that it seemed like city council was being coerced by the provincial government, which was saying the city will only be eligible for certain grants if they do certain things, such as install water meters. “I would like to see (council) making the best decisions for water conservation and health and being fiscally responsible but I don’t want to see our municipal government cornered where they don’t have access to funds that they have contributed to,” she said. “All of us pay taxes which go the provincial and federal government. I don’t thing it’s fair to restrict our access to grants just because we haven’t decided water meters are the best thing for us.” Doug Allin, chief administrative officer for Grand Forks, as well as Mayor Brian Taylor and council members, answered many of the questions posed at the meeting by residents. Allin said the water meter installation was not something the city was rushing into and that they’ve done a great deal of research.

“Since I’ve been here for the last year and a half, there have been many reports coming in from different professionals on the need for water conservation,” said Allin. “We’ve been talking to the Kettle River Watershed people; we have reports from Kerwood-Lydel that were available; Urban Systems, on the protection of the aquifer, which is one component of it. We have the asset management program which council is working on, which is another component of it. “This project is so multi-dimensional. Council has also heard from the province on this.” Allin said that going to referendum on the water installation project was not something that he had seen before in other communities, mostly due to the technical nature of the project. “This project has been in the public and in council for many, many years,” he said. Councilor Neil Krog told Triveri that water meters were the wave of the future and integral to the city for future funding. “When we apply for any government grants, unless you have some of these processes in place, they won’t even look at you,” he said. Semenoff also pointed out that a previous information sheet from the city indicated the water meters would not be installed until 2015. Allin pointed out that was a typo and the meters would be installed as soon as the city has chosen a contractor from the bidders who answered the request for proposal. “Council has approved the water meter installation for spring of 2014,” he

answered. “The open houses are there. We’re having another open house coming up regarding the water meters. The mock billing process will begin in 2015. “Council, at their purview, will have the ability to initiate billing in 2016 if they feel they have enough information.” Allin said council may put off the billing for one year if they feel they don’t have sufficient information at that time. Councilor Bob Kendal added that the city was not, in fact, billing residents for the water, but for the cost of delivery. “There seems to be an assumption that the city is charging for the water,” he said. “The reality is, there is a cost to operate the system. What this billing is for, to get the water out of the ground and treated, has a finite cost per gallon or litre of water. The reality is you’re not paying per se for the water, but for the system to provide the water.” Kendal said there needed to be a distinction that people need to know that the more water they use, the more cost to get it out of the ground and treat it and deliver it to the resident. Taylor told the Gazette he felt there was strong support for the water meter program by the residents of Grand Forks. “My feeling is there is overwhelming support in the community,” he said. “Clearly, we have to deal with some of the issues people are not understanding. I think it’s more of a lack of understanding about how the system works and how meters work.”

YOU AND YOUR MONEY PERSONAL FINANCES

Getting things back UNDER CONTROL Living from one paycheque to another, never knowing the extent of your debt, and excessive use of credit cards are all situations that can cause serious problems. In other words, learning how to control your money is an absolutely essential step in getting out of financial difficulty. There is only one real solution to taking control of your financial situation and knowing exactly where you’re headed: a budget. That’s right, this good old method is still the only way to get yourself out of the red and into the black. Knowing how much money is coming in and how much money is going out every month allows you to make wiser decisions regarding your expenses. And when you know your limits, it is much easier to avoid falling further into debt. A sheet of paper and a pencil is all you need in order to figure out the overall state of your income and expenses. On one side note all your sources of income: salary, bonuses, tips, government allowances, etc. On the other side, mark down all your expenses. This will include both the unavoidable (such as rent, heat, telephone, and transportation) and avoidable ones (cable TV, clothes, movie rentals, newspapers, gym membership). Subtract your expenses from your income, and now you know what you have left at the end of the month. Think about saving if you have a surplus. If there is a deficit, ask yourself what expenses you can cut. The Internet is full of sites offering useful budgeting tools for free. Worksheets, calculation sheets, and other tools can help you create a balanced budget. Just remember, though, that in order to gain control of a risky financial situation you will have to be honest — no lying to yourself!

RRSPs

Start early, SAVE LOTS! You can open and contribute to a registered retirement savings plan as soon as you have income to declare. An RRSP is the modern day piggy bank, a financial tool that allows you to accumulate savings at the same time as you reduce your taxable income. The expression “time is money” takes on its full meaning where RRSPs are concerned. The sooner you contribute, the more money you’ll have when you retire. Many people mistakenly believe that it’s better to reduce their debt before starting to save. However, a much better strategy is to balance debt repayment and savings. This means that even if you are carrying a lot of debt, it is still a good idea to begin saving as soon as you start a full-time job. Not all 25-year-olds are thinking about their retirement, but once they realize that the money they put into an RRSP is tax exempt until they make a withdrawal, and that it can even yield a profit thanks to compound interest, then a long-term plan may not seem so irrelevant. What’s more, if you decide you’d like to own your own house, you can use your RRSP savings as a down payment on a first home. This program, called Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP), is very popular — since 1992, more than two million Canadians have become homeowners using the money they had saved in a registered retirement savings plan. When you make an annual contribution to an RRSP, you are building a better future for yourself. So, be sure not to waste any more time!

Invest in your retirement savings program now!

Drawing up a budget is the first step in getting out of financial difficulty.

CRA tax scam plagues area STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

A scam involving fraudulent communications purported to be from Canada Revenue Agency has been circulating the area. Occasionally, taxpayers may receive, either by telephone, mail or email, a communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but is not, said Gordon Sims, RCMP crime prevention officer from the Trail and Greater District Detachment. In all these cases, the communication requests personal information, such as a social insurance, credit card, bank account and passport numbers, from the taxpayer. “These fraudulent communications are also referred to as scams or phishing,” said Sims. “Invariably, the communication argues

Surplus Continued from Page 1 For now, the Ministry of Education has promised that districts like SD51 that are in continual decline will have their budget reductions limited to 1.5 per cent per year, but the districts do not know if that will be maintained in the long term. “We know that we are losing $220,000 or $230,000 each year, so we know that we are

IN BRIEF

that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or benefit payment.” Another common scam refers the person to a website resembling the CRA’s website where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. “People should not respond to such fraudulent communications,” said Sims. To better equip taxpayers to identify those communications that do not come from the CRA, general guidelines are provided on CRA’s website (www.cra-arc.gc.ca/menueng.html). You will also find examples of a fraudulent letter, emails and online refund forms. If you have responded to a fraudulent communication, please contact the RCMP’s Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at info@antifraudcentre.ca or 1-888-495-8501.

going to have to cut back,” Hanlon said. However, to avoid having to suddenly cut that much out of the budget every year in areas that might affect classroom learning, or cut even more if ministry policies suddenly change, Hanlon said the district began to look for efficiencies that would allow a surplus to be maintained. “We really haven’t taken from the classroom.” “Our class sizes are lower than the average. We have

Volunteers needed David, Ken, Stephanie and Laura meet once a month to talk about how their lives are affected by dementia. They are all caring for family members who are in various stages of the disease. They attend a free caregiver support group offered by the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “This is their lifeline,” said Julie Leffelaar, the society’s support and education coordinator for Grand Forks. An estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over age 65 already live with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. That number is projected to double within a generation (25 years). The resulting need for assistance is soaring, and volunteers help ensure that the demand is met. Training is provided, and a one-year commitment is required. For more information and to volunteer, contact Leffelaar at 1-855-301-6742 or jleffelaar@alzheimerbc. org. For more info see www.alzheimerbc.org.

put in additional supports where needed, and we are able to do that because of these surpluses; we really do address the needs in the classroom.” This year, the district used $112,578 of its surplus funds in order to mitigate the reduction in ministry funding. Hanlon said the current surplus will be able to maintain current programs and service levels for at least three more years, and for even longer if more efficiencies can be found.

Credit Union Gives Notice of Election of Directors gf credit union

Our Vision: We will be the first choice for financial services for residents of the Boundary region. We will be seen and acknowledged as a regional asset and builder of our communities. The Nominations Committee of the Grand Forks District Savings Credit Union is now accepting nominations for positions on the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. Nominations will close at 5:00pm on Friday, February 21, 2014. No further nominations will be accepted after that date. Members will be voting for three 3 year positions during the six business days April 5 – 12, 2014, inclusive, in the office of the Credit Union. For further information, please contact any member of the Nominations Committee: Jennifer Wetmore, Suzanne Schroeder, Pat Horkoff, Kathleen Gabelmann, or Kelly Thomas, CEO. An information session for interested candidates will be held Saturday, February 15 at 12pm. RSVP to Samantha Vaugeois at 250-442-4004 or email svaugeois@gfdscu.com.

Looking for a new place to put your passion? Consider getting involved

Grand Forks Credit Union (GFCU) has been around for 65 years serving our members – who live near and far. We are a member-owned financial co-operative. Each and every one of our members makes a difference to our well-being – both as a locally owned and operated company and as citizens living and contributing together within our communities. Imagine, if you will, the 19 original founders of our credit union meeting at the Grower’s Exchange one summer evening and contributing $30 each. Granted its charter on August 22, 1949, the Credit Union started attracting attention. Within a year, 50 members had joined and assets were over $400. Today, we are almost 9,000 members strong with more than $210 million dollars in assets providing a full range of competitive financial products and services and continually re-investing into our communities. What would the Boundary be like if the credit union had never been born – or suddenly disappeared today? From the beginning, our job has been to make a way for regular people to access financing to help them live their dreams… originally for farmers and small business. We’ve stayed true to our purpose, continuing in the tradition of the cooperative movement.

How do I express my interest to run in the election? If you are interested in becoming a candidate in the 2014 Board of Directors’ Election, please download the Candidates’ Intro Kit which outlines what is required of a Director in terms of time and qualifications. And please email us at info@gfdscu.com to express your interest in having a member of our Board Development & Nominations Committee contact you. What is GFCU looking for in its prospective candidates? GFCU needs leaders who bring with them a broad range of skills and attributes that strongly align with our values and that support and strengthen the current Board’s ongoing commitment to implementing our strategic vision. Did you know…? Credit unions, called by various names around the world, are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide savings, credit and other financial services

to their members. Credit union membership is based on a common bond, a linkage shared by savers and borrowers who belong to a specific community, organization, religion or place of employment. Credit unions pool their members’ savings deposits and shares to finance their own loan portfolios rather than rely on outside capital. Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and fewer fees on average. Credit unions worldwide offer members from all walks of life much more than financial services. They provide members the chance to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, growing farms, building family homes and educating their children. Regardless of account size in the credit union, each member may run for the volunteer board of directors and cast a vote in elections. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.* *WOCCU.org website excerpt

Family Day!

Grand Forks Gazette Wednesday, February 5, 2014

CELEBRATE FAMILY DAY 2014

Experience as a Family ■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. If you live in a snowy region of B.C., organize a hayride, snowshoe trek, sledding time or ice skating at a community rink. If you don’t have snow in your area, you can travel to find it or consider planning a bike ride, a hike or even hitting a mini-golf course or a driving range. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before.

Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that. Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together. Host a family talent show – Everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members. Many living rooms have dimmer switches so play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn machine or ask family members to bring along some treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable.

• Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts. • The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. • All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -- whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. • Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature. • The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. • Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia., while a sparrow indicates a poor man.

News

Rural FortisBC electricity rates will be increasing CRAIG LINDSAY

cutting costs

Grand Forks Gazette

Electrical rates in the rural areas around Grand Forks are set to rise after FortisBC announced it will be raising rates by three per cent this year. Fortis provides electricity to customers in the area immediately surrounding Grand Forks but not the city itself, which buys electricity from Fortis and sells directly to residents at a reduced rate. The B.C. Utilities Committee (BCUC) approved the rate increase of 3.3 per cent, said Grace Pickell, FortisBC spokesperson, and went into effect on Jan. 1. “To continue to provide a safe and reliable electricity for our customers, we have also filed a fiveyear plan with BCUC,” she said. “We are constantly working with BCUC to adjust rates and determine what’s appropriate for our customers.” Pickell said that although Fortis rates are higher than other providers such as Hydro, the company has spent a lot of money to upgrade their infrastructure. “We design and manage our system based on the resources available to us and the needs of our customers,” she said. “Since we purchased the utility in 2004, we have made about $500 million worth of investments in the infrastructure in things such as power lines, transmission lines and substations to make it safer and more reliable for our customers, so

“I think it’s important for people to know that our customer’s bills increase by 50 per cent over the winter time,” said Pickell. “(It’s from) people turning up their heat because they’re cold or turning on lights longer because it’s dark out or people using space heaters.” Pickell recommends that people install programmable thermostats to save money. “That way, they can have it set for 20 degrees when they’re home,” she said. “Then it will automatically lower down to 17 degrees when they’re at work or bundled up in bed. That’s a good way to regular the electricity in your home without thinking about it.” Pickell also adds that something most people don’t know about is that phantom power can drain electricity, even when electronics aren’t turned on. “Even when your TV or PVR are turned off, they are still drawing power and that’s called phantom power,” she said. “About 40 per cent of the energy used by electronics like computers and PVRs is consumed in standby mode. “Even though they’re off, they’re using energy to run the clock or for the flashing lights.” She recommends plugging electronics into a power bar and then turning off the power bar when not using the items to stop the flow of electricity. — Lindsay

that’s part of the reason why.” As for keeping your electricity bill down, Pickell says that space heating is the number one energydraining culprit in the home.

Seed planted at library

IN BRIEF

t’s February, which can mean only one thing: time to start planning your garden! Here’s how we can help: we’ve ordered seed catalogs from a number of different seed companies, and we’ve made these available for you to check out. It seems to make more sense than each of us ordering our own catalog, I think. In related news, our seed library is still up and running—though we are in need of some donations, so if you’ve got any extra packets of seeds around, please bring them in.

The first step in establishing a new animal control bylaw for the regional district has been taken. The Regional District of the Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) passed first reading of bylaw 1550, combining the old licensing bylaw and created one bylaw, said Elaine Kumar, RDKB director of corporate administration. “It’s been cleaned up and we’ve added a schedule on the back and that’s where our fees are. We’ve improved on our definitions,” she said. Kumar said the definition of a vicious dog has been clarified and the bylaw no longer names specific breeds. The animal control bylaw will be enforced by the animal control officers, which are provided by the Commissionaires who signed a one-year contract with the regional district back in September of last year. The bylaw establishes and sets regulations for a pound and provides for licensing of dogs within the area comprising of the City of Grand Forks, the City of Greenwood, and electoral areas ‘C’ (Christina Lake) and ‘D’ (area surrounding Grand Forks). “I think it really covers the basics,” said Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor, who also sits on the RDKB board and chairs the PEP committee. Taylor said he is fine with the proposed new bylaw although he is eager to hear what the public has to say about it. “After first reading it goes to the community for input,” he said. “We can expect to see some opportunities for the community to comment on it.” The RDKB will hold a town hall meeting about the animal control bylaw on Feb. 11 in Grand Forks. A second meeting will be held on Feb. 26 in Christina Lake at the community hall at 6:30 p.m. The bylaw is also available on the RDKB website, if anyone wishes to comment on it there.

After that, the director will not receive payment until the ﬁrst day of the month following their return to duty.

The director remuneration and responsibility extended absence policy has now been adopted by the regional district board. It was drafted in response to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) having to provide two salaries to Area D directors after interim director Roly Russell stepped in for elected director Irene Perepolkin after she suffered a stroke in January 2012.

Also at the same meeting, the board voted to approve a motion that would ask the province to provide clearer legislation that establishes respectful, reasonable and responsible guidance as to how electoral area directors and regional districts are to manage extended absences by electoral area directors due to illness and injury. “The dilemma we faced was that we had a non-elected ofﬁcial (Roly Russell) in a long-term situation,” said Taylor. “He wasn’t being adequately compensated for his time so we were really short changing him. On our side, we need to know how long is too long.” The RDKB board ended up voting for Russell to receive full director’s salary hence both he and Perepolkin are currently being paid for the same position.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. ~Will Rogers (1879 - 1935) Joke of the Week:

A woman got on a bus but soon regretted it. The driver sped down the street, zigzagging across the lanes, breaking nearly every rule of the road. Unable to take it any longer, the woman stepped forward, her voice shaking as she spoke. “I am so afraid of riding with you, I don’t know what to do.” “Do what I do,” said the bus driver. “Close your eyes!”

Readers of the Grand Forks Gazette and Black Press community newspapers across the Kootenay-Boundary will have a chance to win a cool $1,000 for completing an online survey that will help local businesses better understand customers in their community. Black Press has partnered with research company Pulse Research to bring the Pulse of West Kootenay survey to readers, which looks at the shopping plans and priorities of people and their media reading habits. People’s answers will help gauge the current consumer climate to help local businesses craft new ways to serve their clients and customers. Responses will be kept completely confidential; contact information will only be gathered in order to enter the name into a prize draw for one of five $1,000 cash prizes to be given away across the Kootenay-Boundary. The online survey will take about 35 to 40 minutes, erasing the need for people to spend long periods of time on the phone answering questions. “We are very excited to be a part of this service to the business community,” says Black Press group and Gazette publisher Chuck Bennett. “We are pleased to be able to offer this information and are certain it will be beneficial.” The Pulse Research survey has already been successful for businesses. In fact, one client took the results of the research to the bank and was able to secure a loan to expand their business, on the strength of the research. Among the benefits of the study is allowing businesses to identify niche areas of its business, showing potential areas for growth or expansion. Check out Kootenay-Boundary at www.pulseresearch. com/westkootenay to complete the survey and to enter the prize draws.

IN BRIEF Cash Store crunch Late last week the Supreme Court of B.C upheld Consumer Protection B.C.’s compliance orders against Cash Store Financial Inc. requiring the company to comply with the law and refund over $1 million to consumers. People who took out an estimated 68,000 payday loans between Nov. 1, 2009 and March 23, 2012 from The Cash Store and Instaloans, both operated by Cash Store Financial Inc., may be eligible to receive refunds for illegal fees charged for cash cards. The refund process was to begin in late 2012 but Cash Store Financial Inc. applied for a judicial review of Consumer Protection B.C.’s orders. Pending the judicial review process, the court had ordered Cash Store to secure the refund amount of more than $1 million in the event the orders were upheld. Consumer Protection B.C. is now expecting Cash Store to begin the refund process as outlined in the supplemental order, effective immediately. The Cash Store operates an outlet in Grand Forks. A copy of the court’s judgment will be available on the Supreme Court of British Columbia website.

Tax session offered for U.S. ‘persons’

STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

A public tax information session for those Canadians considered to be U.S. “persons” is being sponsored next week by the region’s MP. Alex Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior, is hosting the free session Tuesday, Feb. 11 (7-9 p.m.) at the Fireside Conference Centre in Castlegar. A panel of immigration and cross-border tax experts will address issues related to U.S. tax and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The Canadian government is in negotiations with the Americans on an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to impose U.S. tax legislation (FATCA) on Canadian financial institutions. The agreement may require Canadian banks and other financial institutions to disclose information on accounts held by “U.S. persons” to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Negotiations are being conducted in secret and raise concerns that the IGA could potentially violate Canadian privacy laws. Furthermore, the misinformation and secrecy around FATCA is causing a great deal of public anxiety and anger, said Atamanenko. “Canadians fear for the security of their personal banking information and the security of their savings,” he said. “By providing my constituents with professionals who can offer advice and address their questions and concerns, we may alleviate some of the anxiety and give them the means to make informed decisions.” Murray Rankin, Official Opposition critic for National Revenue, expressed concern at the prospect of a foreign nation unilaterally imposing obligations on Canadian banks. “While we understand the United States’ desire to protect their own tax base, this

should not come at the cost of the rights of individuals residing in our own country,” stated Rankin. The session is free on Tuesday, Feb. 11 from 7-9 p.m. at the Fireside Conference Centre, 1810 8th Ave., Castlegar.

Boundary Creek Times

Free camping might be coming back to the Greenwood municipal campground, but on a limited basis. A request by the Greenwood Board of Trade (BOT) that camping in the municipal campground be provided free of charge—with stays limited to two or three days—is being considered by Greenwood council. BOT president Jim Nathorst sent the request to council in a letter dated Nov. 21, 2013. He wrote that free camping would encourage visitors to stay and would support local businesses. He stated that the BOT would share in the costs of the signage used to indicate the availability of alternate camping facilities within the City of Greenwood. Council had considered the request at an earlier meeting by directing staff to get input from the two local motels that offered RV hookup and camping sites. The campground had started as free camping until the owner of one of the motels came to council to complain it was undercutting business. Council then instituted a rate of $5 per night, eventually raising it to $10 per night. But there were problems: payment was on the honour system and people were using the bushes for their bathroom. Administrator Robin Dalziel said he received one phone call and also a letter in response to his queries. Dalziel did not have a recommendation for council. Connie and Rainer Nissen, owners of the Greenwood Motel and RV Park, wrote the letter to council in which they called the BOT proposal a “slap in the face for the owners of the existing RV parks here in Greenwood.” Council agreed to refer the issue to council’s 2014 budget setting meetings which, Kettle reminded everyone, is an open process. “Anybody can come in and give their input,” he said.

Automotive Tip of the Week

tomkat

Higher octane or premium fuel does not give you better gas mileage and/or more power. Sportier cars have higher compression engines which generate more power and require higher octane fuel to prevent detonation. That’s where the myth of “premium = more power” came from. If your handbook says “regular”, use regular.

Getting heart heathly this month

IN BRIEF

ebruary is Healthy Heart Month in Canada. The Heart and Stroke Foundation chose the month of February back in 1958 to concentrate on awareness and fundraising for cardiovascular disease and prevention. Nine in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Risk factors include smoking, drinking alcohol, physical inactivity, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes. Every seven minutes someone in Canada dies from cardiovascular disease or stroke. It is easy to see that the risk factors for developing heart disease and stroke are primarily avoidable. Most of us can take an active role in decreasing the dismal statistics by eliminating the bad and increasing the good behaviours. Physical activity is key to unlocking the formula for cardiovascular health and Canadians aren’t getting enough. It is recommended that we accumulate a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. That’s less than 30 minutes a day of continuous walking, biking, dancing, swimming and playing. Statistics tell us that only 15 per cent of adults are meeting the criteria and 83 per cent of kids are lacking the necessary physical activity guidelines for optimal growth and development. An opportunity is available to anyone who wishes to decrease their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases through exercise. There is no ‘one’ activity that is better suited to achieving this goal. Being active means getting up off the couch or out from behind the electronic devices and moving your arms and legs however you see fit. As the Nike slogan so aptly states, “Just Do It.” Of course, winter weather makes it more difficult and limits our ability to participate in outdoor activities. However, with snow comes skiing downhill at Phoenix, cross country ski-

ing, and even snowshoeing right out your back door. You don’t have to be an expert or have the latest and greatest equipment to give it a try. Borrow, rent or purchase used equipment. Indoor activity There are many opportunities to be active indoors. The Grand Forks Recreation Department offers a variety of group fitness classes, swimming lessons, lap swims and regular public swim and drop-in fitness room hours. We provide public skating at the arena throughout the week, along with seniors, adult and kids’ drop-in hockey sessions. There are community drop-in programs like badminton, volleyball, soccer and dance. If you are an individual or a family with financial limitations and need assistance in order to participate in activities provided by Grand Forks Recreation, come by our office and pick up a leisure access and inclusion application. The access and inclusion program allows those who are financially limited to take part in our programs at a significantly reduced rate. There really is no excuse for the poor statistics when it comes to physical activity. It boils down to a lifestyle choice. Choose to make a personal difference. Do your heart a favour this February and get up and get moving. Please give us a call at 250-442-2202 for information on our Leisure Access and Inclusion Program, as well as February recreation opportunities.

Midway is going back into the running for a shot at being Hockeyville for 2014. Local organizer Jenny Simmonds has invited local folks to submit stories online about why they think Midway should be Hockeyville. This year the prize structure has been changed, with a total of $1 million going to 16 communities across Canada. “It is time to show how the arena and hockey bring us together as a community—learning about each other, from each other,” said Simmonds. To submit a letter on behalf of the local hockey arena, people can go to krafthockeyville.cbc.ca. There are easy to follow guides on how to write your story and promote your community, as well as how to present a case for making the Boundary Expo Recreation Centre the next Hockeyville arena.

Jr. girls in tough in Vernon STAFF

Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks junior girls basketball team headed to Vernon on the weekend for a tournament at Clarence Fulton Secondary. The Wolves got to see some tough competition as they battled a pair of big Kamloops schools. First up, GFSS faced a big and strong Valleyview Vikes squad. The Vikes used their superior size and pressure defence to go up 19-2 after one quarter. The Kamloops squad pulled back the reigns a little and GFSS relaxed and managed to score a few baskets before going down 46-14. “We’re just not used to that level of competition,” said coach Craig Lindsay. “They had two talented posts that were a half-foot taller than anyone we had. Plus they have more kids to pick from and get chances to play pretty much all year round. It’s just a different level.” Lindsay said that playing against strong competition is the main reason the team travelled outside the Kootenays for the tournament. “We won’t see teams like that around here,” he said. “It was tough losing by that much. We haven’t lost by more than 12 all season. But it really gave our kids a good look at what it takes to play at that higher level. It’s about speed and aggressiveness as much as anything.” The Wolves lost their second game 40-16 to another Kamloops

squad, Westsyde. This one was a little closer as GFSS trailed by only 15-8 at half time but just couldn’t keep up with the quicker North Okanagan team. “Our defence was rock solid in the first half, we just struggled to make shots,” said Lindsay. “But they just kept coming at us and eventually they started making shots and pulled away.” The Wolves played a familiar foe in their second game, Mount Sentinel from South Slocan. After losing to the Wildcats by two in their last game in early January, GFSS were looking for revenge. The teams played another close one, but this time Grand Forks came out on top 34-31 led by 11 points from Alyssa Makortoff and seven from Keyra Stoochnoff. Simone Chernoff led Mount Sentinel with 10 points. GFSS travels to Trail on Wednesday for a rematch with the J.L. Crowe Hawks. GFSS 50, Midway 11 It was another short squad for the Grand Forks Secondary (GFSS) junior girls basketball team on Wednesday as they travelled to Midway for a game against Boundary Central. Despite having only six players due to exams and injuries, the GFSS Wolves got off to a strong start using tough pressure defence and aggressive rebounding, said coach Craig Lindsay. The final score was 50-11 for GFSS who were led by 13 points from Alyssa Makortoff and 12 points from Riley Steinbach. Charity Starchuk pitched in with eight points.

Gr. 8 boys beat Midway The Grand Forks Secondary School Grade 8 boy’s basketball team played their second road game of the month on Wednesday, Jan. 29 and stayed undefeated in the new year, beating Midway 33-26. While it wasn’t the Grade 8’s finest performance to date, coach Sean O’Brien remained impressed. “I have 17 awesome kids on this team so not everyone travels to every away game,” he said. “We had some nerves, some shaky legs out there, with kids being on their first road trip, but this is only better preparing us for the season final.” Wednesday’s game marked a very special moment, for their opponent Midway, being their first home game in 15 years. The crowd was excited, the players were motivated and passionate; it was a real cool sight, said O’Brien. “Our program has had its issues over the past years, of teams folding, lack of commitment from both players and coach, so I made sure our boys respected the moment,” he said. “We congratulated the other players and coaches, and thanked the referees who were teachers volunteering their time.” Once again, the Grand Forks team was anchored by their starting core, with Jackob Boshman finishing with a game high 13 points. Sam Foy dictated the tempo in a very tough battle with the opposing point guard, and Noor Sibat made another three pointer giving him one in every game on the year. However, O’Brien seemed to be more impressed with his bench. “We had five guys who came in and hit a layup or a jump shot at some point,” he said. “Confidence and the depth of our team as a whole were huge.” The Grade 8’s play on Thursday, Feb. 6, when they will look to extend the win streak to three. — Gazette staff

Bruins earn split on road trip CRAIG LINDSAY

Grand Forks Gazette

With a chance to move within four points of fourth place Spokane, the Border Bruins lost a close 4-3 battle Saturday with Golden despite a pair of goals from Jackson Purvis. The Rockets, who have a record of 14-28, were definitely a beatable opponent on Saturday but they were able to hold off GF at home. The Bruins went up 2-0 in the first part of the first half with Purvis, assisted by Michael Rand and Max Newton, scoring at 13:30 and Cam McLellan, assisted by goalie Dominic Stadnyk, scoring a power play marker at 10:42. Braeden Allkins brought Golden to within one at 5:32 of the first. Goals from Nick McCabe in the second period and Ian Desrosier early in the third period put the Rockets up 3-2. Purvis tied the game up at 17:07 of the third period, assisted by Coleton Dawson and Dakota Kittle. Allkins got the game-winner with his second goal of the game at 10:52 with a power play dinger. On Friday, the Border Bruins pulled off a thrilling 6-5 overtime winner over Columbia Valley in Invermere. Jerome Thorne opened up the scoring for the Rockies at 10:09 of the first period.

The Bears than scored four unanswered goals (Mitchell Pearson, Nathan Cory, Brandon Savaia and Dakota Kittle) to take a solid 4-1 lead over CV. Mitchell Rosko (CV) and Kyle Dolly (GF) traded power goals late in the second and early in the third, respectively. The Rockies then scored three straight, from Braeden Farge, Bradly Palumbo and Damon Raven, in the third to tie the game at 5-5 and force overtime. Dolly scored the game winner at 2:05 of the first overtime period with an unassisted goal. Kai McDonald had a strong game in net, stopping 55 of 60 shots in just over 62 minutes.

Deer concerns spur second meeting

A second meeting of concerned Boundary hunters was held Jan. 17 in Greenwood to talk about how to get the government to change course on its proposed three-week open white tail doe season. The hunters feel that the herd count is dangerously low

and want the government to listen. Retired guide-outfitter Barry Brandow from Grand Forks gave numbers from a Status of Mule Deer 2013 report. Doing the math the way Brandow laid it out there should be 14,000 to 21,000 mule deer and 20,000 to 30,000 white

Parenting programs starting up in Boundary

SUBMITTED

To Grand Forks Gazette

As we become new parents none of us are presented with the ‘how to’ manual for parenting. Parents and caregivers struggle with the learning and the volumes of new information and experiences every day. Just when you think that you have the babyhood down pat, along comes toddlerhood, the test of wills, new emerging personalities and a desire for independence running the gamut from ‘I can make my own choice’ to ‘I am still a little one and need reassurance and snuggles.’ Next come the school years, the merging of friends, schedules and the excitement of a bigger world and new learning. Pre-teens bring new fears for parents with the second emergence of ‘I am independent and know what I am doing’ and then adolescence, the great time of transitions for everyone. At times, most of us struggle in parenting. Many parents who participate in parenting programs express huge relief in having the opportunity to talk with other parents who face similar struggles. Parents’ network of friends expands as program participants connect with each other in friendship and support. The Boundary Family Centre offers a wide variety of parenting and support programs for parents and caregivers who want to increase their skills and also look at options for

their perplexing parenting questions, the ‘what do I do now?’ questions that we all face in parenting. A few of the programs that have received great feedback from parents and caregivers include: • Nobody’s Perfect. Families are complex, challenging, and worth every bit of effort. The Nobody’s Perfect parenting program is about finding your way as a parent— even when family life gets messy. Find ideas and support to help you manage today’s challenges and your child’s needs. Discover your strengths as a parent, and build new skills with the support and encouragement of other parents. This program is for parents with children under six years of age and provides assistance with childcare and transportation for parents that need this support. Lunch, dinner or a healthy snack is provided. • Connect Parenting This program focuses on the basic principles of attachment, relationships and child/ youth development. The facilitators help parents strengthen the building blocks of secure attachment and parent skills. When parents understand and feel more confident in their relationship with their child, they can draw on basic learned parenting techniques and work towards shared goals with their children. Rather than finding weaknesses and reasons for past failures in parenting, the Connect program focuses on

meeting parents where they are, recognizing the skills that they possess and moving forward from there. This is a community partnership program with facilitators coming from BFISS, School District 51, FreedomQuest and Child Youth Mental Health. • Ready or Not A program for parents whose children are moving into their ‘tween years. Information about how to talk

with your kids about the hard topics that adolescence brings to youth and family life. Guest visits to the program from community resource people who work with youth. Our parenting programs are provided across the Boundary area. If you have an interest in learning more about one of our parenting programs or having your name on a list to participate

Proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1539 would amend the Electoral Area â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Zoning Bylaw No. 1299, 2005 by: - adding a new zone â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agricultural Resource 1Aâ&#x20AC;&#x153; (AGR 1A) which would allow a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kennelâ&#x20AC;? to operate as a permitted secondary use. There already exists an â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Agricultural Resource 1â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (AGR 1) Zone and there would be no changes to it. The new AGR 1A Zone would keep all the permitted uses allowed in the AGR 1 Zone, and adds â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kennelâ&#x20AC;? as a new permitted secondary use. A â&#x20AC;?Kennelâ&#x20AC;? is a building, structure, compound or group of pens or cages where dogs, cats other domestic pets, or exotic pets are, or intended to be, trained, cared for, bred, boarded or kept for commercial purposes. The Area â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Zoning Bylaw permits a kennel in the Agricultural Resource 1 Zone only by rezoning. The Regional District Board of Directors will approve a rezoning to permit a kennel if they consider it is in the public interest. In considering a rezoning application, the Board will consider the proximity of the kennel to other land uses in the area, the potential noise and visual impacts, and other matters they deem relevant. If approved, the proposed amending bylaw will allow a kennel on the subject property (see map below) and rezone the subject property from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agricultural Resource 1â&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agricultural Resource 1Aâ&#x20AC;? Zone. This zoning amendment is speciÂżc to this one parcel, and does not rezone any other parcels. Applicant: Tom and Karen McKay Location: Lot 16, DL 500, SDYD, Plan KAP140, Portion shown on PL B796 2235 Carson Road, Rural Grand Forks, Electoral Area â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
